Buy RunPod Credits with Crypto

RunPod asks you to add funds first, then deducts credits in real time as you use resources. That makes SolCard useful for topping up the account balance that powers Pods, Serverless endpoints, storage, and public model usage.

RunPod's auto-pay reloads your balance after it drops below a threshold, charges the default saved card, and limits attempts to once per hour. SolCard fits that documented card-based reload flow for long-running workloads.

RunPod requires at least one hour of credits to deploy a new Pod, and it says Pods are automatically stopped when the remaining balance is projected to cover less than 10 seconds of runtime. Reliable funding matters here because interrupted compute can be expensive in time, not just money.

The same RunPod balance can be consumed by GPU or CPU Pods, pay-per-second Serverless workers, public AI endpoints, and storage. That is a different payment pattern from a single SaaS plan and makes consolidated balance funding more practical.

Stopping a Pod releases the GPU, but RunPod continues billing volume disk storage, and Pods with attached network volumes cannot be stopped at all, only terminated. SolCard-funded credits can keep storage alive while you preserve data for the next deployment.

RunPod reserves business invoicing for transactions above $5,000 and routes those through sales, ACH, wire, or card. SolCard is most aligned with the normal self-serve billing page where users add credits directly before launching compute.
